How do I create a map walk through?
Quote from suffer1034 on May 12, 2012, 10:22 amI'd like to create/post a video of the walk through of my map.
What is the easiest/best way to do this? Do folks use Fraps?
Edit: Sorry if this isn't the right forum. Seemed like the best choice, being related to those who make maps.

To play back the demo type (playdemo "name") again without brackets into the console. Note if you play maps with level changes in them the demos will be recorded sequentially.

Only thing is - it you plan on using slow motion at all then I'd record from a demo at a higher frame rate as 30 FPS footage will look a bit laggy.

Also, I've heard of a program called Taksi but it didn't work very well for me.Both of those programs are free.
